Tealnesia was originally an archipelago in the pacifics. The people of Tealnesia were a tribe known as the Tealites. The Tealites were avid astronomers and nomads, they travelled extensively in late antiquity and visited as many surrounding islands as they could.
Tealites were obsessed with colour and light. They revered the stars, which helped them to explore the world. Tealites were pacifist by nature, but they established close ties with the war-like short tribe. Soon after, Tealnesia was devastated by war, pestilence, and famine. Many Tealites fled and Tealnesia entered a dark age.
The dark age lasted a very long time. Tealnesia dropped off the face of the planet. When it emerged, on the other side of the world, the country was very different. Tealnesia was conquered by Niadh of Chronovantes, with very little resistance. Niadh used Tealnesia's connections to consolidate power and launched a coup d'etat of the Iridaceaean Confederation, which was an alliance of colonies established during the dark age.
The bronze age that followed brought a gradual increase in prosperity to Tealnesia. The natives increasingly embraced an Iridaceaean national identity, but ensured that Tealite culture was preserved at home. Niadh is the head of state, and the national government is headed by the Satrap.
